HVC La Rosa 520 Favoritos

Halfwheel · Jul 30, 2019 · May 31, 2018

After re-reading my notes about the HVC La Rosa 520 Favoritos from the original review, it seems not much has changed about the cigar, including my questions as to whether this is the best—or even an ideal—size for this blend to show its full complexity, which is surprising given the score that this received. That fact is something I can't control, other than to artificially punish the cigar for our methodology of only using one sample for a redux review. Had I smoked more of them, I think subsequent samples would have shown more of the spots where it lacks the fullness and nuance of the bigger vitolas. I still maintain that as the most slender of the bunch, the vitola might be holding it back from really being able to give the tobacco the chance to do everything is capable of doing, in which case it might score even higher than this, something I think the potential for exists. All that said, the cigar is still quite good with what it does have to offer, alternating between earth and nuts, two familiar flavors that play well with the pepper and sit quite enjoyably on the taste buds, reinforced by the cigar burning well to boot. A revisit to the Favoritos reminded me not only of how much I like the backstory of the cigar, but of just how enjoyable the blend is.

HVC La Rosa 520 10th Anniversary Magnificos

Cigar Aficionado · Aug 26, 2025 · Cigar Insider

A well-made perfecto with a slightly tapered foot that draws and burns evenly. The smoke is creamy and toasty, revealing some chocolate notes. Impressions of herbs, orange peel and poundcake also emerge. Balanced and tasty.

Developing Palates · Dec 26, 2016 · July 2016

I overall enjoyed the cigar. Reinier once again proves he makes delicious cigars utilizing some of the best tobaccos Aganorsa has to offer.
